When the former special counsel insisted he had not gone to see the Atlanta **Hawks **play in that time period, Mr. Schmitt declared, “I think you’ve already perjured yourself,” and called Mr. Smith a “dirtbag.”

The accusation appeared to unravel almost immediately.

Invited to respond by Senator Amy Klobuchar, a Minnesota Democrat, Mr. Smith said he had, in fact, attended a basketball game on that day, but it was to see the Iowa **Hawkeyes **at the University of Maryland. That night, Caitlin Clark, the star point guard who now plays in the W.N.B.A., scored 38 points and had 12 assists.

    Imprisonment was really effective as a means for punishing those responsible \s

    Now depending on how things go, if the false flag national emergency is not stopped prior to the midterms, all of the people raping women and children in the ICE detention facilities in Florida & New Orleans, murdering people for the crime of existing at the wrong time & place, and who knows what else will go unpunished.

    Imprisonment as a means to an end doesn’t work.
